opslagcontainer

An opslagcontainer is a portable storage container used for secure, on-site storage of tools, equipment, and materials. It is commonly found on construction sites, warehouses, and event venues, providing weatherproof, lockable space that can be moved as needed. Most opslagcontainers are based on ISO shipping containers and may be repurposed for storage or purpose-built for storage use.

Typical design and dimensions: standard non-refrigerated units are steel and often built from corten steel for corrosion resistance. They usually feature double doors at one end, a timber or steel floor, and corner fittings for lifting and stacking. Common sizes are 20 feet and 40 feet in length, with a width of about 2.44 meters and a standard height of about 2.59 meters; high-cube versions offer an extra approx. 0.3 meters of height. Insulated or ventilated variants and refrigerated (reefer) containers exist for specialized needs.

Interior configurations can vary: floors may be plywood or steel; interiors can be equipped with shelving, racking, or insulation, and some units include basic climate control or ventilation. Security is a key feature, with lockable doors and options for enhanced locking hardware.

Uses and benefits: opslagcontainers are durable, modular, and reusable for temporary or long-term storage. They can be rented or purchased and adapted for different purposes, including storage of tools and materials, mobile offices, workshops, or temporary accommodation with appropriate modifications. Their portability supports flexible site logistics and rapid deployment, contributing to cost efficiency and sustainability through reuse.
